New Year

My greatest desire is to see a situation where all separated Parents refrain from indulging in the Adversarial tactics so often used today where the children are used as pawns in the Legal game of cat and mouse. One where each does their respective healing, understanding that the needs of the children come first, and accepting when a situation arises where irreconcilable breakdown has occurred.

A time of healing, where the only criteria which is considered by Family Court is one where the children and their needs are placed above all else, and the differences between the Parents take second stage. Obviously, where the Childs wellbeing is in danger from one or the other, this must be considered, but the problems between the parents must take second stage, pushed to one side, and is not factored into the decisions made by the Family Court when making orders for the continued relationships needed by the Children with their Parents.

For myself, I no longer have any desire to play these games, where the lawyers make money with protracted cases, where the child suffers from prolonged restriction of parental contact. My desire is to see healing take place between the Parents, individually for the Parents, and old angers and resentments become consigned to history for the Childs sake.

I wish all Parents well, and hope that this New Year brings Healing and Peace to all.
